Esperanto isn't the only "designed" language. There's also Lojban and Toki Pona and probably others.

  1. They're called conlangs (constructed languages) and there are thousands of them, although few are complete enough to use for serious conversation. You can see a listing of many of them at Langmaker.

  3. If you're interested in Esperanto, there's a beginners' mini-course at UW-Madison this summer. :)

    I know of two Esperanto speakers in Madison, but there are probably more.

    Toki Pona is fun too, but the only classes for that (which I know of) have been at Esperanto gatherings. ;)
